A bothy and a boat naust, which are situated to the E of the tidal strip attaching An Dunain to the mainland, was recorded during a pre-afforestation survey of An Torr, Badachro.
The bothy is situated at the line of the spring high tide. It measures 4m from NW to SE by 2m within a 0.7m thick wall with a very ruinous 2m by 2m outshot at one end.
The boast naust, which lies to the W of the bothy, is dog-leg in shape and is 15m wide at the top narrowing to the base.
